This is just the latest example of the leftie “redefinition” game.

When your primary campaign is based on the most left position, the most concilliatory attitude, the promises to get out of Iraq now, not months after he takes office--then any statements made to moderate the positions show either that you never did understand the situation and spoke out anyway, or now that you have the nomination sewed up you will take a different position. Question is: was Obama naive and ignorant of the realities of the middle-east? Or was he just stringing his radical left wing along to get the nomination? It’s a problem of competence, or a problem of trust.

halatbis: I would suggest a third possibility: his initial positions are his true ones, since they are consistent with his core Marxist values, and he’s just lying to get elected, after which he will do his best to force Marxism on us.

We all know Obama is moving to the center because he knows he can’t get elected as the far-left, Daily Kos/New York Times candidate he was in the primaries. We all know that, should he take office, he’ll govern as the far-left liberal candidate he was in the primaries. Therefore, we all know that this “move to the center” stuff we’re seeing from Obama is calculated to mask the sort of leader he really is.

Wrong. We includes everyone in America who isn’t a reality-challenged leftie.

Wow, I didn’t know you were a psychic. So tell me, how long until you get another divorce?
